Thanksgiving!!! Who's Cooking? (and what?)

[christa]

Well, I just got my turkey out of the oven! I know, today's not turkey day, but like I said earlier . . . since hubby & I go out of town on Thanksgiving Day, I wanted to make us our own Thanksgiving meal to eat here at home. And hopefully there will be enough for leftovers for tomorrow!

Anyway, the turkey looks great. I made it so early because hubby actually prefers his cold . . . so it will be extra perfect by dinnertime tonight! Now all I have to do is prep my other dishes and have it all on the table this evening when he gets home from work!

BTW, guys, it smells so good! I'm drooling as I type this! I might have to go ahead and cut it off the bone before tonight, so I can have a little taste.

I have been cooking for my parents, my hubby and girls, and my sister & nephew now for about 8 years. My mother did it up until then ... but it was getting very overwhelming for her, so I took over. This year will also include my new son-in-law and grandbaby Jenna. (My daughter is getting married to Jenna's Daddy the day before Thanksgiving)

I will be cooking the usual ...

Turkey w/ Gravy

Dressing

Sweet Potato Casserole .... good enough to have for dessert!

Green Beans (usually do the mshrm soup casserole, but this year, gonna make them homestyle with pork fat.... yummy!)

Watergate Salad (a must every year)

Yeast Rolls

Cranberry & Fruit Relish (recipe I'm trying new from K&L)

Tray of Bread & Butter Pickles, Celery Sticks, Green onions, Cranberry Sauce
